I'm excited by it. US scientist and engineers are quite amazing, and a cut above the rest of the world. No other country could pull something off like this.Rum wrote:Anyone else excited by this? Human beings can do such astonishing things!

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

In the showjumping, the horse does all the work, and the little parasite on it's back gets all the tinware.

Re: The Mars Curiosity thread
It's just another mars rover....this could have easily been put down safely with airbags. I'm pretty good with engineering. They chose the difficult way because they wanted funding. I don't see it landing in one piece but then that wasn't it's point.Rum wrote:Vain hope I know, but it would' be fantastic if this thread could stay on topi...

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

Pasadena: Now I lost the second craft. We got problems.
Bermuda: Full contact lost, Pasadena. Maybe the antenna's--...
Pasadena: What's that flare? See it? A green flare coming from Mars.
